GUEMUREMAN, Silvia  and  BIANCHI, Eugenia. Institutional trajectories, psychiatric diagnoses and violence in a case study. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.3, pp.78-103. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.18307.

The categories of institutional trajectories, psychiatric diagnoses and violence are addressed through a case study of an adolescent declared criminally responsible and later convicted of ordering crimes in Buenos Aires (1993-2005). His institutional trajectories were followed through analysis of his custody file in the juvenile courts as he was a minor not punishable until he reached the age of criminal responsibility. This analysis is complemented with the inclusion of the adolescent’s final sentences, and related regulations. The objective of the case study is to analyze this file using the concept of trajectories, hypothesizing that these are not linear, deterministic or reductionist, but consist of a dense fabric of circumstances and experiences. The results are organized into three vectors: psychiatric diagnoses, institutional trajectories and violence. The article seeks to contribute theoretically and methodologically to the field of youth studies.

Keywords : Institutions; youth; violence; trajectories; criminal Justice.
